Adobe Connect Pro

Adobe Connect Prois software that enables e-meetings in an online 'virtual classroom'. In this course, the Adobe Connect Pro platform will be used for scheduled webinars facilitated by expert presenters, for presentations of project work by course participants, and to support real-time collaboration among group members working on such projects (see course overview).

Access to the virtual classroom is via an internet connection from each participant's personal computer. A headset and microphone is required to participate. In general, use of webcams is restricted due to bandwidth issues. In some circumstances the facilitator may use a webcam or allow their use by course participants.
